I was telling my manager that I wanted to quit the industry because the synopsis I was receiving from filmmakers all felt like a lie. Yes, they were heroine-centric... but the concepts were simple. Like a rape victim, her struggling against the odds and gaining revenge, or a wife who supports her husband endlessly, or a sacrificial mother.

I write synopses after the book is completed. I can't write it beforehand, because I don't know what the book's about. I invent something for my publisher because he asks for one, but the final book ends up very differently.

British Author

Shane Carruth

I hate even the idea of a synopsis. When stories are really working, when you're providing subtextual exploration and things that are deeply layered, you're obligated to not say things out loud.

American Writer

James Salter

Although I've made notes for things and even written synopses sitting in trains or on park benches, for the complete composition of things I need absolute solitude, preferably an empty house.

American Novelist

Shweta Tripathi

I was not aware of alopecia before 'Gone Kesh,' and when I heard the synopsis, read the script, I realized how ignorant we are about people's lifestyles and their issues.

H. P. Lovecraft

It would not be amiss for the novice to write the last paragraph of his story first, once a synopsis of the plot has been carefully prepared - as it always should be.

Emmanuelle Beart

I can't just react on the strength of an email and three pages of synopsis, and say I'm going to take off for three months of my life.

French Actress

Jo Nesbo

Normally I start with a plot, and write a synopsis, and the ideas come from the construction.

Norwegian Author

Celine Sciamma

I don't write a synopsis, I don't write a treatment. I write scene by scene.

Peter Carey

I always pity people who have to write my plot synopses.

Australian Novelist

Use a synopsis to get a quick glimpse of a book or article, helping decide if it's worth reading.

Pre-reading Aid

Book synopses are designed to entice without giving away key plot points or spoilers.

Entice Readers

A good synopsis is concise and avoids unnecessary details, focusing on the main idea.

Avoid Details

Academic synopses often summarize research, providing an overview of methods and findings.

Academic Context

Publishers use synopses to describe and market academic books to potential readers.

Publication Summaries

In film and theatre, synopses distill scripts to their essentials for producers and actors.

Script Overviews

Film synopses suggest visual and emotional elements of the story, setting the tone.

Visual Story Hints

Film synopses give enough detail to intrigue but not to spoil the plot for the audience.

Avoiding Spoilers

 It's in between, and we think it changes the way information can be used. So I want to extrapolate on this idea a bit with something that's a little bit crazy. What we're done here is we've taken every single Wikipedia page and we reduced it down to a little summary. So the summary consists of just a little synopsis
